    I feel like Covid broke the narrative that if the shit really hit the fan, Western civilization could mobilize to save itself. We pulled together in WWII and if there was a big enough threat, we'd do it again.

    We couldn't even figure out "wear a freaking mask and buffer the economy enough that sick people don't have to shamble through their shifts at TGI Friday's splattering disease on everyone else."

    If we had a new Hitler rise, the debates wouldn't be about alliances or genocide, it would be how dare we neglect the impact on GM's stock price for even considering having to repurpose the Chevrolet Childcrusher assembly lines to make bombers instead, and how unfree it makes us to hang blackout curtains so the drones can't identify occupied buildings.

      It didn't because most people deny that COVID is an ongoing pandemic or that it's still important

      The hivemind says mission-accomplished-1 mission-accomplished-2 and that's all that matters for the cattle--it's the one thing that both cattle pens can agree on
